1. What is Delphi Cleaner
-------------------------
DC is a little freeware utility for Delphi programmers. It helps you to clear specified folder and it's subfolders from files left from Delphi developments: *.~*, DCU, DOF, EXE, DSK. You can specify, which files you want to delete. It's good idea to clean your development colder before archiving code etc., since compiled units take much disk space and they can be re-created from source files anytime you compile your project again. Please note DC is smart enough only to remove files that have source file: if you have compiled unit file that has no companion source file (*.pas), DC will not delete it. The same rules apply also to EXE, DSM, MAP (require DPR).


2. Installation
---------------
To install DC, unzip all files into directory of your choice. There is no special setup - program is simple and runs from any folder. If you have launched DC you have option to add "Delphi Cleaner" entry to shell context menus of folders. That way DC is always accessible from folder context menu - directly from Windows Explorer by right-clicking on folder you want to clean. So simple(TM)...

NOTE: If you use older version of DC, please uninstall it before installing this new version. Old version used slightly different installation procedure. If you don't uninstall it, you may see duplicate entries in the context menus of folders in Explorer.


3. Disclaimer
-------------
I'm thinking of changing DC into all-purpose cleaner. So that one can add custom file types. So maybe VC++ programmers and other folks can use it too. I'm sure MS tools leave more garbage than Borland ones ;-) What do you think about this? Is that worth tweaking?
